Great insight into Bergen. - Wonderful insight into Bergen. Despite the wet & windy conditions, we really enjoyed the walking tour. We learnt so many new and interesting facts about this city, from a historic, cultural and contemporary viewpoint. Our guide Martin was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. He also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants, and a printed guide for lots of extra activities during our stay in Bergen. Due to the changeable weather make sure you have waterproof rain gear and/or umbrella. We would highly recommend this tour.

A great overview of Bergen with a personable guide! - Martin was a wealth of information and had plenty to share about the city. Additionally, he was able to answer specific questions and give local recommendations. My college-aged daughter and I enjoyed our two hour tour but would have been happy with even a bit more time and walking around to learn even more.
